Quark

Self-hosted URL shortener whose short codes are computed via a keyed permutation, never stored.

Webfree

Quark is a self-hosted URL shortener written in Rust that ships as a single ~1 MB binary with no required database, Redis, or other external services. Instead of storing short codes, it computes them on the fly from the link's internal id using a calibrated, non-enumerable permutation. It's aimed at self-hosters and developers who want a minimal-footprint alternative to shorteners like Shlink or YOURLS.
